Welcome to The Horse's Hoof, News for Barefoot Hoofcare
We are here for you!
"The Horse's Hoof" is this AD-FREE informational website,
as well as a quarterly printed AD-FREE 24 page magazine, published
since 2000 (available in our online
store). The Horse’s Hoof, both magazine and website, is
a generic barefoot resource for both horseowners and professionals,
created in 2000 by barefoot advocates James & Yvonne Welz. The
Horse's Hoof is for everyone! We welcome and encourage all methods and theories
of barefoot trimming, and support all forms of hoof care that focus on creating
healthier hooves over the long-term. We advocate finding compromises to create
more natural, healthier living conditions for all horses. We believe that
a good system of barefoot horse care is the ultimate prevention against
most serious hoof ailments that affect our domestic horses.
While barefoot can be used successfully for the rehabilitation
of unhealthy feet, our main focus is on preventing unhealthy feet in
the first place - through education and awareness. It is our goal that barefoot
becomes a widely accepted choice for performance horses around the
world, with hooves raised carefully from birth to be superior in every way.
It can be done - we have that information available now, and many people are
putting that to action (see the Barefoot Performance
page). Using this knowledge, no horse should ever need to suffer catastrophic
founder. The younger you begin a barefoot program with your horse, the better
(ideally, at birth), but most horse's hooves can be significantly improved,
and even become healthy enough to do whatever activity you desire. Barefoot
is NOT a fad, or anything new - after all, horses were born with bare
hooves. Learning to keep them that way successfully is the job of the barefoot
horse owner, and we're here to help. Healthy hooves create happy horses!
The Horse’s Hoof includes a wide variety of information
and links throughout this website, and in our magazine. We are completely
advertising-free! The magazine contents are mostly different from the website,
though we do include some articles on here from past issues (Click
here for the Contents List). You will find articles and information from
and about all the leading experts in the field, including Jaime Jackson,
Dr. Robert Bower, Dr. Hiltrud Strasser, Pete Ramey, KC La Pierre, and
many others, as well as experiences and stories from various practitioners
and owners. We include a wide variety of material, some of it contradictory,
as there are many differences of opinion - and we don't personally agree with
everything we publish. We encourage and promote this interchange, because
we feel this is what will kick barefoot hoofcare up to the next level!
If you would like to read the personal opinions of James
& Yvonne Welz, please visit our section (see left bar), in particular,
Hoof Corner. Look for our separate, new
"membership hoofcare educational website," Hoof Help Online
(www.HoofHelpOnline.com) coming in early 2009, which will provide detailed
how-to trimming instructions and advice through a wide variety of media, and
will present our ideas and philosophies on hoofcare that we have personally
developed over the past decade.
Barefoot hoofcare is a young, developing art and science.
There is so much ahead to discover. After nearly 20 years of hoof study, the
leading hoof researcher in the U.S., Dr. Robert Bowker, says, "There
is so much that we still don't know about the hoof!"

What BETTER way to keep you abreast of barefoot news? I'll try to keep you posted with a steady stream of news and happenings in the barefoot world, as well as special interest stories about the things that matter to those who love natural horse care. And I'll tell you what is going on with James & I. (This current "old fashioned" news section will filter down to just the more important "stand-out" news items.)
Barefoot and Lengthy Turnout discussed at the Global Dressage Forum
Amidst all the recent uproar over cruel and abusive dressage training practices, something positive just surfaced from the international dressage stage. The 2009 Global Dressage Forum was held in the Netherlands on October 26-27, 2009. One of the speakers, veterinary surgeon Dr. Rachel Murray, made a plea for regular and long turnout of dressage horses. Journalist Astrid Appels writes in her report, "Probably the most important statement made during Murray's session was the undeniable fact that regular and long turnout of horses in the field is protective against lameness. As the horse is able to move around much more it keeps itself flexible. Most dressage riders lock up their horse and only ride it or hand-walk it, but turnout improves the bone, tendon and muscle structure." Read the full article here.
A second highlight happened in the presentation given by Dutch team farrier Rob Renirie. Astrid quoted Rob as saying, ""We keep our horses as prisoners in a stable, which is not good for the blood supply," and she further writes, "The best way for a horse to go is barefoot! If your horses do not have problematic hooves or do not change surface too much, Renirie professes you should keep them barefoot. Rob, who said he became a farrier to solve a hoof problem with one of his own horses, admitted that he keeps his horses barefoot." Read the full article here.

GoldHaven Studios is pleased to present the Natural
Hoof Medallion. An original work, designed and created by Kathleen Dutson
(copyright) and produced locally in our hometown of Oroville, CA. Most equine
jewelry celebrates the horse with the horseshoe. We at Goldhaven Studios celebrate
the horse with the bare hoof! Proudly made in the USA. Available in Sterling
Silver on an 18" or 24" Sterling Silver chain. NEW Sterling Silver Natural Hoof Earrings and 14k Gold Natural Hoof! Medallion Kathleen
is an artist and barefooter. She rescued an Appaloosa with wedge pads and
heart bars destined for euthanasia and turned him into a galloping gravel
cruncher! Visit us at www.goldhavenstudios.com
.
(from Yvonne: I love this hoof design! Notice how extremely
healthy the shape is: completely round, with wide heel buttresses, tapered
bars, and the lovely rolled edge. Such an extremely healthy hoof is rare outside
of horses well-trimmed by good natural hoofcare professionals - or on healthy
wild horses. Or on our own horses' feet - they all look just like this! Bravo
for such a fabulous design.)

AANHCP Postpones April 2009 Orientation Clinics
SANTA YNEZ -- 02/21/2009 -- In an effort to continue striving toward the highest
standard of natural hoof care, Jaime Jackson informed the AANHCP Board of
Directors last week that the orientation clinics scheduled for this April
in Warrenton, Missouri should be postponed to allow time for critical changes
in the NHCP education and training program. Jackson said he deliberated this
decision for "quite some time" knowing that this abrupt change might
cause temporary discomfort to a number of people within the organization.
"It is imperative that we hold ourselves to the highest standard possible
in our education and training programs" says Jackson. "After thinking
long and hard about this foundational premise of our organization, after reviewing
numerous training reports coming across my desk and talking with many of the
clinicians and field instructors who provide our training, I am concerned
that too many of our students are reaching the final stages of our program
without a thorough understanding of what is, and what is not, within our power
to remedy and heal as NHC Practitioners."
Jackson says he believes the solution lies in adding new content to the curriculum
-- principally dealing with pathology -- and also in the way the information
is taught. "I personally feel we can do better and must do better to
serve the horse at the highest level by better preparing our students to discern
the extreme cases that they are likely to encounter out in the field"
says Jackson. "Therefore, I am in the process of restructuring the curriculum
and training format in order to insure that all students passing through the
AANHCP program will be fully competent and prepared for whatever horse or
hoof they encounter."
Jackson added that the core principles to the wild horse trim and natural
hoof care remain unchanged. And for any students who had already entered the
program and are at the independent study level or beyond, they will have the
option to complete the training program as it has existed for the past few
years. The new curriculum will be released by the first of April 2009 along
with revised dates for the new training program. Visit AANHCP (Association
for the Advancement of Natural Horse Care Practices) http://aanhcp.net/

Saving New Zealand's Wild Horses!
"The Elemental Wild Horse Sanctuary: Last year Tam and Allan
Ennor decided they were going to do something about the plight of the
wild horse. Early in 2008, the husband and wife team, made a life changing
decision to begin their own campaign to help save the rare wild Northern Kaimanawa.
First, miraculously, in the tiny country of New Zealand, Tam and her husband
Allan found and took out a lease on an older farm with 134 acres and soon
thought they had a sponsor to help them secure their dream. Then, they
began with eight, fence savvy but unhandled animals and by the virtue of their
success with these animals, the DOC granted them the entire next muster of
the Northern horses. The herd now stands at 38." The global financial
crisis caused their UK sponsor to back out, and they need help funding this
huge project. Portrait photographs of the horses, and products including books,
DVDs, and more can be purchased to help with funding, as well as donations.
